Banana Bread (1 Slice)

Have a smaller portion of banana bread and avoid a second serving.

Eat it after a meal containing protein, fiber, and non-starchy vegetables rather than on an empty stomach.

Pair it with plain Greek yogurt, eggs, or a small handful of nuts instead of sweet spreads or sugary drinks.

Choose a homemade or lower-sugar version made with whole-grain flour, added nuts or seeds, and less ripe bananas.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.

Avoid combining banana bread with other fast-digesting carbohydrates, such as juice, sweet coffee drinks, or candy.
